It's all there. And except for the horrific coffee, it's all satisfying. Total cost: $6.72.

I live in The Valley, so I hadn't made it here. Finally, I met a friend who lives in Culver City. I was quite disappointed, considering all of the 'hooplah.' The biscuits were..well, biscuits. I admit, I should have tried the pancakes. If there is another time, I will. The Huevos dish was so-so. Everything else was very Denny's-like and the bill was insane. Griddle Cafe is a billion times better. I had been wanting to try this place for years. I live in The Valley, so I hadn’t made it here. Finally, I met a friend who lives in Culver City.

I order a short stack with a side of bacon (made chewy)- the bacon is very good. I think JOG’s Applesauce pancakes are fantastic (homemade applesauce).

Their biscuits alone had me at "hello." I also recommend calling ahead to get on the list. I’m one of the O’Groats believers.
